Yeap. The group is called the Great White Hype, and they do cdrs parodying rap and various electronic artist, TG, and Coil as you mentioned, and also Brian Eno with their Another Black World. On some fucked up cdr label, also home to a series of test tone cds, the cd is actually a 20-20khz sweep lasting 74 minutes. Volume 2 is 20k-20hz. Fun. I hear a Boyd Rice-inspired GWH cd is in the works as well. Their website is down at the moment but it is http://24.5.30.51/RLR/ . You can listen to sound clips on there. What does it sound like? Hmm... like amateur recordings of joke rap music. Offensive vocals/loops, etc. On the TG ones they actually use samples from TG records.. mainly "jazz funk greats". But yeah, definitely ordering it when I get around to it. brian mulvey
